UMACKLEMORE

Being in radio I figured I better keep up the music references. Personally I can't stand the "Rapper" Macklemore, (The word "Rapper" used out of pity) but he usually has Talented people on the track with him... So I decided this week's recaps should be done by picking a different song to explain the team and/or how they played this weekend.

Scholastica: "Can't Hold Us" -UMACLEMORE. I only pick this song from the Irony of it. Because if you looked at the penalties from the last game... Scholastica can hold you for sure, and they will get flagged for it too. Over 120 yards in Penalties is impressive and I'm just surprised the officials could keep up. This game we saw both of my predictions basically called perfectly with the Specht getting a touchdown of 12 yards on a jump up (predicted perfectly) and he actually got a bonus touchdown too. I also predicted "The Gas" would get 128 yards (he got 119) and two touchdowns and I nailed it. Even if you act like you're not impressed inside you should be like... "Holy cow this guy know like everything" I don't but I'm working on it. Scholastica per usual had a slow start here in this game, but finished strong. They just need four quarters of good football and they have a shot at that #AQ4

Martin Luther: "Baby What A Big Suprise" - Chicago. I picked this song after seeing you were up at half time and I nearly had a stroke. Rothe played his offense perfectly. Killed the clock like a pro and kept UNW of the field on offense as long as he could. They just missed by a little bit, but maybe they'll be able to pull out one or two more wins before this season is over.

Crown: "I Won't Give Up" -Jason Mraz. I picked this song from the fact that your offense worked perfectly on that first drive, but at some point it stalled and you needed a new game plan, but instead you stuck with it and it didn't work out in the end. You've got the pieces there to make a solid team, but right now your no throws over 6 yards and run the ball as much as we can method doesn't work on teams that can score points. You just got caught in a come back battle that didn't allow you do what you wanted to.

Norwestern "Counting Stars" -OneRepublic. While you were counting stars Martin Luther was scoring points. Glad you found a shooting star out there and made the wish to comeback in the second half. Once again solid running game going and it did help set you up in the second half, but if you're not careful you won't have enough time to come back from being down in the first half. (Similar issue to Scholastica)

IWC: "Celebrate Good Times" -Funktown You basically can't take last place now and you beat Morris at home! celebrate good times and hopefully this can you be your song to finish out the year.

Morris: "Alone Again" -Gilbert O'Sullivan (Most of you will have to look up this classic) if you don't want to look it up... basically this is a super depressing song and I picked it for the win less Morris who is alone at the bottom right now and needs to figure something out!

MacMurray: "Mud On The Tires" -Brad Paisley. You played at home and your field makes me think about taking my truck out to an open field and there's one spot I don't drive because I know I'll get stuck... That's how I see that field. Close battle though with Westminster and you guys seem to be getting things realitively right these days. I think you'll get one more win this season for sure.

Greenville: "Some Guys Have All The Luck" -Rod Stewart. You snuck out a close win this past weekend with Eureka and I just wonder if you're really good and just didn't play well or if you've just got all the luck. Only time will tell... 

Eureka: "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" -Pat Benatar. This one I picked because Eureka tried to hit it with their best shot this year, but sadly they're basically elminated from contention in the UMAC now. You've got some pieces to the puzzle just need to put it together for next year

Westminster: "Staying Alive" -BeeGees. Didn't win by much this week but you've still got a shot in the UMAC! It's going to take some great passing, and maybe some magic too. It's always tough to throw in MacMurray so I won't look into the score too much.

Now for my ouch of the week....

This one might be hard to believe, but the "Ouch of the Week" goes to.... ME.

"But why Joshua how could it be you? You're so cool and you were 4/5 once again on predictions." - you

"Because my blog reader, I didn't give Martin Luther a shot in the game at Northwestern, and they made me look like I just don't like them."

That's right folks! I'm the ouch of the week and I won't apologize for my prediction, but I will say this. Martin Luther is better than you thought Joshua. Ouch that hurt to say but I had to admit it. Shout out to Martin Luther! Great battle, I even cheered for you too. I do look forward to you attempting to prove future predictions wrong.

Well that about wraps up last weekends recaps.

My editor told me he found numerous mistakes and I didn't fix any of them so make sure to enjoy!
